What is it?

This is the 2020 Civic Type R, meaning a subtly tweaked version of Honda’s hottest ever hot hatch. In fairness,   there wasn’t a lot wrong with the original - known as the FK8 by savvy Civic spotters - that made its debut in 2017.  

The second generation of turbocharged Type R, it did a fine job of melding spectacular straight-line pace with a chassis that magically blended acrobatic agility and adjustability with cast-iron control and just enough comfort. It was arguably one of the most complete cars of its type, with its pace, poise and practicality helping it nail the hot hatch brief to the letter.   What's it like?

You’ll perhaps be unsurprised to discover that the new Type R feels   quite a lot like the old one. And that’s really no bad thing. We drove it on the road in flagship GT spec and,   as very rapid and entertaining hot hatches go, the Honda is still very near the top of the heap. Yet small though the changes are, they do make a difference.
